Great guided behind the scenes tour
Teri_H, Mar 2024
Loved hearing the history and seeing the team locker rooms. It was a small group so easy to hear the guide. Would suggest better up front info on the ticketing process. Everyone was confused about how it worked… stand in line at 10:30 but then get another designated time that might not work in your schedule for the day
Very enjoyable

A pleasant one hour spent walking the halls and suites of MSG. It was interesting to listen to the tour guide’s stories told in a very enthusiastic tone. All your mementos will be in your photos taken.
Worth it!

Mark_B, Jan 2024
All tours were cancelled without any warning! I went all the way to the Garden just to learn that no tours would be taking place the rest of the day.
Pretty Good
Rachelle_S, Jan 2024
It was good, thought we see more of the stadium. The guide was good and knowledgeable. I’ve done this tour before and saw more.
See the Garden!!

Great tour to see inside where the ice hockey, concerts and basketball is played. You go through all the ticketed areas so you see where corporate sit to the cheapest seats available.

Great tour guide and pleasant attendants all the way through. Reasonable cost and value for our money and time
Madison Square Garden a must
Linda_M, Sep 2023
Great way to see all of Madison Square Garden including the freshly laid ice rink. And seeing the change rooms of the Knicks and Rangers teams.
Overpriced for what it is.
Quan_L, Sep 2023
Overpriced to walk around the MSG in a large group. Better just to see an event and experience the MSG that way.
Worth every penney!
Ailbhe_D, Aug 2023
We went on the 12.45 tour and it was so great! Interesting to learn about the history and see all areas of the garden you wouldn't normally get to. The tour guide was brilliant he was so knowledgeable, friendly and energetic.
All the photos...
Evelyn_O, Jul 2023
All the photos commemorating a moment in time; also the speed in which the arena can be transformed from a basketball arena to a hockey arena or any other kind of event.
